Burnley beat Manchester United 3-0 in behind-closed-doors friendly

Published

In a discreet friendly fixture, Burnley secured a decisive 3-0 victory over Manchester United on Wednesday.

Erik ten Hag, the manager of the Red Devils, utilized the match as an opportunity to field players who had been lacking match fitness or returning from injuries.

The squad composition predominantly featured emerging talents, yet it also integrated some recognizable figures.

Anthony Martial spearheaded the attack, while Facundo Pellistri was also granted an opportunity to showcase his skills on the field.

With Mason Mount sidelined for the forthcoming two matches due to injury, either Scott McTominay or Christian Eriksen appears likely to step into the starting lineup. Ten Hag might have provided a subtle hint regarding his team selection through his choices against Burnley.

Among the players who participated in the fixture against Burnley were Jonny Evans, Hannibal Mejbri, Alvaro Fernandez, and Donny van de Beek.
